After touring together in 2007 as the Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi's Soul Stew Revival, the couple merged their respective groups to form the Tedeschi Trucks Band in 2010.[1] Their first concert was on April 1, 2010, at the Savannah Music Festival.[2]

Their second album, Everybody's Talkin' was recorded live and released in May 2012.[7]

In 2013, the band was nominated for the Blues Music Awards[8] and released their third album, Made Up Mind.[9]

The band gave a Joe Cocker "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" tribute concert at the 2015 Lockn' Festival[10] featuring alumni musicians from that album including Leon Russell, Roberta Flack and Dave Mason.[11]

The band's first three albums were published by Sony Masterworks,[12] but their 2016 album Let Me Get By was released on Fantasy Records.[13] Produced by Trucks, the album debuted at number 15 on the Billboard Top 200 album sales chart.[14] In 2017, Tedeschi Trucks Band released a full-length concert film and album recorded in Oakland, CA, Live from the Fox Oakland. [15]

The fourth studio album, Signs, was released on February 15, 2019, on Fantasy Records and Concord. On January 9, 2019 the band announced tour dates through August 2019.[16] Signs was chosen as a 'Favorite Blues Album' by AllMusic.[17]
